With nostalgia Mom looks back to the year A little girl walking to Riverside Park, without fear Except for the bowery, no homeless on the street Kids played outside, lots of friends to meet. A chocolate bar was 5 cents, a penny was copper through You could buy a gun downtown, no-one would take it from you. It was a period...

Oh what did you see, my blue-eyed son? And what did you see, my darling young one?

On Being Woke
“Woke”, past tense of “awake”, It is generally thought that, This is a good thing, My worst nightmares begin, At that point. If being “awake” means ignoring, Reality at another’s behest, It’s intolerable. Allow the thoughts of others, Permeate my mind, So I Might wade into the pool of diversity. Do not deny myriad creative thought, And when the creation blooms, In all its perverse manner, However, it is...

Premium Member Call a Spade a Spade
The seeds of hatred, who has sown? The winds of intolerance, who has blown? The two deadliest snakes, so far unknown; Like weeds in society, now they are grown. Beware of these weapons aimed at you; To your own self, you always try to be true. Think not that things will change on their own; Analyse the insults to which you are...

Premium Member Tolerating Intolerance
I cannot tolerate those who are intolerant, I cannot stand those who take a stand against unknown others unlike themselves, much less than we are truly health and safety seekers multiculturally alike. I can tolerate anything except intolerance, most certainly including impatience with myself, not excluding my esteeming estimating assessing empathizing sympathizing realizing without finalizing self and others as myself in others as myself co-empathic within other cooperatively tolerant relationships. I cannot not multiculturally tolerate monoculturally elitist tolerance of injury to...

Premium Member Enough To Be Dangerous
Do you know the concern? "S/he knows just enough about a through z to be dangerous." I am uncomfortably familiar with this analysis, a weapon often wielded from ivory towers overly influenced by ideology masquerading as theory rooted in statistically measured experience, severed from historical-cultural, biological-neurological indigenous context. Even so, one feeling I am sure of my own too robust expertise is Intolerance. And, now I am discovering I have chosen to...

Starting From Scratch With Ol' Scratch
Starting from Scratch with Ol’ Scratch by Michael R. Burch Love, with a small, fatalistic sigh went to the ovens. Please don’t bother to cry. You could have saved her, but you were all tied up complaining about the Jews to Reichmeister Grupp. Scratch that. You were born after World War II. You had something more important to do: while the children of...
